There's definitely a difference, rather large one, in component over S-video (even interlaced). Color saturation is the biggest gain. As to cable recommendations: Bettercables.com. I have used the Ultra and compared it to Audioquest's YIQ-4. The Audioquest is slightly better, but only slightly and would probably only be perceptable on a very good projector system. In my opinion it does not justify the cost. Bettercables has outstanding quality (both image and manufacturing) and is a real value.
